Summary: OH no..bring this back. It's inimitable.
Comment: When the 50th anniversary of the publication of GONE WITH THE WIND (henceforth referenced as GWTW) occurred in 1986, Harwell published this volume of letters from Margaret Mitchell Marsh. Gleaned from a collection of over 50,000 letters, clippings and notes covering a variety of subjects, these letters give us insight into the author of GWTW and her world.
Marsh argues with her publisher about issues like the name of the heroine and the title of the book, which she had originally titled TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY. She had named Scarlett "Pansy" in her original manuscript. When controversy arises over her description of the desecration of Confederate cemetaries by Federal troops, she reveals her sources of information as well as her surprise that the question should come up at all!
Adventures and misadventures with the filming of the book (rumors that she would cast the film caused wild complications in her life), the fame that makes her so uncomfortable, problems concerning the writing, publication and success of GWTW -- all combine to make this an unusual and utterly fascinating picture of one of America's foremost writers.
Mitchell had what she called "a passionate desire for personal privacy." That passion shows in these letters, along with a touch of Scarlett O'Hara and a smidgen of Melanie Wilkes. GWTW devotees (and possibly those who aren't fans, too) will enjoy this glimpse of the double-edged sword of success and its effect on Margaret Mitchell Marsh.
